Restful weekend

The weather has given us a bit of a break, ever since it was 58 degrees last weekend. No ice, no snow, no sub zero temps.

It's been nice. Of course, we all know that it will be temporary! It is, after all, January in Chicagoland!

Went downtown last night with most of my family. The "C" contingent was there, not the "H" contingent. We went for barbecue at The Fireplace Inn, and then spent the rest of the evening laughing our butts off at Second City.

I'd never been before, and it was a TREAT! My only regret was that I did not buy myself a t-shirt!

This weekend has been about resting, and regrouping, after the holidays. I made a batch of one of my oldest soups (butter bean), meaning one of my first self-developed recipes.

I've done cleaning and tidying. I've dropped the price on my place YET AGAIN....

and I've slept. Two nights in a row of long, restful sleep. That will do me more good than anything else, right now.

I miss my husband, but we have made some goals for ourselves, and we have some things to look forward to in the Spring.
